I was sitting around in front of the telly yesterday afternoon indulging in potato chips and cola.

During a commercial break my mind wandered and I found myself reading the ingredient lists on said snacks.

I almost wish I hadn’t ! 

 

Potato Chip ingredients: Potatoes

 

Turmeric (colour)

1%

Magnesium Glutamate (flavour enhancer)

8.32%

Sodium nitrite (preservative, colour fixative)

23.2%

Carob bean gum (thickener, stabiliser)

0.01%

 

Cola ingredients: Carbonated Water

 

Lactic Acid (acidity regulator)

10%

Sorbic acid (preservative)

A sudden urge to get out of the house and get some fresh air overcame me.

Those ingredients were trying to tell me something….

“ Get off your backside and discover a lost land of potato chip and cola manufacture” they said.

I also noticed they were somehow telling me where I should head to find this lightly fried, lightly carbonated paradise.

 

Enjoy!!
